What if AW's get well beaten?

Just a thought. Given what i've now read about mounting injuries and players who aren't match fit, how much would the positive gains made by the AW's over the last year or so be affected if we get well beaten in both games?
Obviously having big crowds will help the players on the pitch, but neither game will close to the atmosphere at the Cake Tin last November. Would it be a massive step backwards if we lose badly?
As I said, just a thought....

Always a risk in any game, but its better than the alternative of not playing at all.

Absolutely. I just hope that a couple of heavy defeats doesn't mean the fans (the fickle ones who have only just climbed aboard the bandwagon) stop coming to future matches.
Or maybe I'm just being paranoid? It's pretty amazing whats happened with football here lately, and I'd hate for things to go back to how they were again.

We won't get beaten if we replicate our mighty 11 men behin the ball fortress in S Africa!
Aren't these international friendlies where not much or little is at stake? Honduras and Paraguay won't send their 1st teams here. Think positive because if weather is blazing hot and nice, there will be humungous walk up crowds.
If crowds are below 15k, just tell ourselves that tehse are mere thank you matches and also farewell matches blended into two. Half empty stadium is still much better an empty stdium.

Don't worry, even if we lose, we'll get all the fans back when the All Blacks choke next year.

I'm sure everyone will do their utmost, especially Ryan Nelsen to stop us getting thrashed.

I don't get why people want their own country to lose. Soccer would not have got anywhere near the coverage it id during the world cup if rugby fans had not got on board.

Football world cup is bigger than the entire rugby world, we are not competing........
